I've got sixteen days to knit fifty rows (plus the bind-0ff/border, and block) of the wedding Celestarium. We finally nailed down the photographer, and two and a half of our four witnesses have confirmed their travel arrangements (don't ask. I love our witnesses-- they're some of my absolute favorite people in the world-- but sometimes my favorite people have a habit of getting busy and not remembering the little details, like making hotel and plane reservations in a timely manner.) We found a vegan gluten-free caterer to satisfy the dietary requirements of my vegetarian, kosher, and celiac-disease-having family, and decided that Devin's midwestern, meat-and-potatoes-dependant Irish Catholic side can go out for pancakes and bacon afterwards. The clothes are pressed and back from the dry cleaner, although I still have to go buy underwear because the closest thing I have to a white bra has polka dots, and it shows through.

This is the most extravagant day I've ever planned in my life, even though everyone keeps telling me that a $5000 wedding is not actually extravagant. It is for us-- and the thing is, weddings all over the world, in every culture I can think of, are extravagant. They're celebrations, and we're having one all of our own in sixteen days-- assuming I don't hyperventilate myself into a quiet padded room with a cozy straight jacket between now and then.

In the meantime, I finished a pair of socks.

Stash yarn, no pattern-- just toe-up 3x2 ribbed socks with a gusset/short-row combination heel. I meant to send them to my aunt before she went to China, but I got a little busy, so now they're welcome home from China socks instead.

I've got a lot going on. A lot. Really a lot. Including a ton of knitting and some looming deadlines that may or may not kick my tush into next week. So, obviously, I'm daydreaming about all the knitting I can't start right now.

Just looking around my little wool room, and without opening the yarn closet, I spy*:

*in this case, what I spy is the potential for these projects-- some of them are even directly adjacent to the appropriate needles! Of course, some of them are still in the unspun fiber stage of their development...
